Fattier than white fish, and that fat is the point: it carries the omega-3s. On the energy-density scale, 206 kcal per 100 g puts salmon at the moderate end. Protein density is strong: about 10.7 g of protein per 100 calories.
A typical serving (1/2 fillet, 154 g) has about 317 calories, and 100 g has 206 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
There are 22.1 g of protein in 100 g of salmon, which works out to about 34 g per serving (1/2 fillet). That is a genuinely high protein share for the calories.
Yes, in the plain arithmetic sense: 12.4 g of fat per 100 g supplies about 54% of the calories. Whether that fits your day depends on your totals, not on the food alone.
